Approved: T Raumschmiere – Eterna

Last week, Kompakt Records announced the latest edition of its long-running ‘Pop Ambient’ compilation series, which will feature contributions from artists including The Orb, Kaito and Jens-Uwe Beyer. The release was launched by a stunner of a track from T Raumschmiere called ‘Eterna’.

A piece of music unusually actually deserving of the tag ‘glacial’, it’s a massive, slow-moving beast. A palate-cleansing mesh of layers indistinguishable from one another, but each moving the track forward significantly. It’s a marked departure from the producer’s ‘Heimat’ album, released earlier this year, and – indeed – most of his impressively diverse back catalogue. It’s a very good addition to said catalogue though.
